Officials said that Hamas is still opposed to a compromise that would ease the closure of the territory.

Hamas officials said they were holding out in the hope of getting more concessions in the Egyptian-mediated talks.

With a temporary truce set to expire on Monday at midnight local time, a range of outcomes remain possible, including a return to fighting, an unofficial understanding that falls short of a formal negotiated deal or yet another extension in negotiations.
